Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken & Broth:

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of celery/mushroom)
  • 1 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
  • 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn, optional)

For the Dumplings:

  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (like Pillsbury Grands, or see homemade option below)
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (to prevent sticking)

Instructions

1. Slow Cook the Chicken:

  1. Add chicken, onion, garlic, broth, cream of chicken soup, thyme, parsley, salt, pepper, and poultry seasoning to the crockpot.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-7 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours until chicken is tender.

2. Shred the Chicken & Add Veggies:

  1. Remove chicken and shred with two forks.
  2. Return shredded chicken to the crockpot and stir in milk and frozen vegetables.

3. Add the Dumplings:

  1. Cut biscuit dough into 1-inch pieces and toss them lightly in flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Drop biscuit pieces into the crockpot, making sure they rest on top of the liquid.
  3. Cover and cook on HIGH for 1 hour, or until the dumplings are fluffy and cooked through.

4. Serve & Enjoy:

  • Stir gently and serve hot.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or black pepper for extra flavor.

Notes

  • Want a thicker broth? Mix 1 tbsp cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water and stir into the crockpot before adding dumplings.
  • Use rotisserie chicken for a quick version—just cook everything for 3-4 hours instead of 6-7.
  • Make it dairy-free by substituting coconut milk or a non-dairy alternative.
